Ben - you can get SED (I loved it to, back in my VAX, and Sun user days) for windows. Google will point you to several sources including SourceForge (http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/sed.htm). Or, if you already have FrameScript, you can do this inside of FrameMaker as well.

Hi Ben: I've been using Python to manipulate XML files, and it's free and friendly. Well, I sit with a lot of professional programmers, so I have help, but they assure me that it's a wonderful scripting language compared to many others. Did I mention that it's free? Here's the download site: http://www.python.org/ And here's the reference book: http://docs.python.org/lib/lib.html Good luck!

Many free text editors, even on non-UNIX systems, have batch mode text editing capability too ...
